Victoria Fall rains all day

The third fact is it rains all day long. The Victoria Falls Rainforest, the only spot in world where it rains every single day of the year, is located on the Zimbabwean side of the Falls. Visitors are encouraged to explore the forest, which is blessed with lush flora thanks to the rainfall. The continual spray from the waterfall supports and feeds the region of dense woodland flora that has come to be known as the Victoria Falls Rainforest. Only a small portion of Victoria Falls Park contains the main portion of the Rainforest, which is located on Cataract and Livingstone Islands on the lip of the Falls and across from the Main Falls on the Zimbabwean side, where a diverse and abundant plant community has grown thanks to the constant rain that falls in the shadow of the Falls.


Insects, amphibians, birds, and mammals are all supported by this diverse flora. The water gradually dries up further along the lip of the Falls, opposite the eastern part of the Falls, and towards Danger Point. Only heavy rains from the spray during high water periods is present. These areas lack the Rainforest's mature forest vegetation, which is replaced by a predominance of grass, bushes, and scrub.


As the cascade cut its way through the solid basaltic rock to form the winding Batoka Gorge, the rainforest likewise changed and moved through time, moving upstream with it. The current amount of rainforest is believed to be modest in comparison to former extents because of the varying size of the spray from the Falls during the various stages of the erosive process.


The current region of rainforest will dry out and perish as the conditions necessary for its formation migrate with the Falls, and new rainforest areas will grow as the river continues to erode down into its bed and starts to create a new fall-line. The Devil's Cataract region is already displaying traits of this diverse flora.


On your trip, you may observe how the rainforest changes, how the spray shoots up and turns into rain, and how severe it can become as you approach Danger Point on the eastern side of the Falls. Here is a video showing the Victoria Falls' many sections during the time of high and low water.
